The Warrior of Love

At this time, the observation Haki has become a means of "communicating" with the body.

In other words, if this machine does not have a strong enough observation Haki, it cannot be operated at all.

The crude operating console only plays an auxiliary role, and the two "antennas" are what actually control the movement of the machine.

The stronger the observation Haki, the clearer the thoughts expressed, and the more agile and accurate the body's movements.

"Could this be the highest level of observation?"

Jiang Liu suddenly had an idea: "It's not "listening to the sound of all things", but "the sound of the heart is transmitted to all things"? "

Since this machine uses this kind of operating system, it was developed specifically for high-level Observation Haki practitioners?

What does the "Fruit of God" mentioned before mean? Isn't it a devil fruit?

The machine also has its abilities adjusted specifically for the "Insight Fruit", which means the machine itself will adapt to the properties of the Devil Fruit?

Are there still connections between devil fruits and ancient weapons...what is going on?

"Now is not the time to think about this." Shaking his head, Jiang Liu calmed down and concentrated, trying to sense the existence of the metal rod.

Although he knew that this thing was an "antenna" that resonated with the Observation Haki, Jiang Liu was, after all, a novice who had never received any relevant training. He had to figure out how to resonate with it and how the Observation Haki should fluctuate for the best transmission efficiency... It took him a full half an hour just to figure out these things.

This is based on the fact that he possesses the abilities of high-level Observation Haki and Insight Fruit. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably take years of training.

"Hoo... start!"

Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes with a serious expression.

hum!

There was no contact, but the two thin metal rods inexplicably vibrated slightly, making a strange clear sound.

hum-

The sound became lighter and softer, until it was almost inaudible. All that could be seen was a hazy silver layer on the surface of the metal rod, like countless fine points of light.

"Wake up, Kronos!"

-

When Jiang Liu wiped his sweat and pushed open the door, returning to the bar, he found that the bar, which was already quite a few people there, was now even more lively.

"Hey, Luffy, explain to me clearly, what do you mean by "accidentally kidnapping a Celestial Dragon"?!"

At the center of the commotion, a beautiful girl with orange hair that symbolized passion, a graceful figure and pretty looks was grabbing Luffy and questioning him roughly without any ladylike image.

The leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, a pirate worth 300 million berries, was completely powerless in the hands of this beautiful girl, and his face turned blue as if he was about to be strangled to death.

"Nothing, huh?"

A sturdy swordsman with green short hair was sitting at the bar, drinking beer nonchalantly.

"Aren't they just Celestial Dragons? What on earth are Celestial Dragons?"

"They are the descendants of the twenty kings who established the World Government, the world's nobles. It is said that if you provoke them, the generals will be dispatched."

A black-haired beauty wearing a cowboy hat and exuding intellectuality said with a smile, "This time we are in big trouble."

Although she said this, there was no panic on her face, as if she was an outsider.

"Ms. Robin is indeed very knowledgeable!" said the handsome blond man with oddly shaped eyebrows with a grin. "This wisdom sets off your face and makes it even more beautiful, ma'am."

"I don't care. Whether it's the Celestial Dragons or the Navy, leave it to me, the super!"

A very muscular gentleman (transformer) who for some reason only wore underwear on his lower body showed off his muscles.

"Is everyone lacking a sense of urgency?!"

Chopper complained crazily: "This place is so close to the Navy Headquarters, the Admiral will definitely be here soon, we should quickly figure out how to escape!"

"So that's why you guys got into trouble with the Celestial Dragons!" Nami swung Luffy madly, "You guys, you got into trouble like this without even noticing, really!"

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Jiang Liu raised his hand with a subtle expression and said, "Miss, you have wronged Luffy. It was actually me who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons."

Nami: "..."

Luffy pointed at Jiang Liu with a pale face: "This time it really has nothing to do with me, Nami..."

The orange-haired girl looked at Jiang Liu silently, with a question mark on her forehead: "Who are you?"

Chapter 87: Godfather, the ship is ready

The news that the Celestial Dragons had been attacked spread across the island like a plague.

Needless to say, the supernovas, who already needed to hide from the navy, naturally had to run away as soon as possible, but even the native residents of the Sabaody Archipelago began to panic, and many people began to try to go out to sea to escape.

Everyone remembered the "Demon Slaying Order" and various rumors about the navy.

It is undeniable that the navy protects most ordinary people from attacks by pirates, so the people also trust the navy.

But this army also has a cold-blooded and ruthless side. When the dignity of the World Government or the banner of "justice" is violated, the Navy will abandon all warmth and transform into a pure killing machine.

Whenever something happens to the Celestial Dragons, they will attract the generals - this is not just an urban legend, but has real basis and even precedent!

Not to mention whether the navy led by the admiral will blockade the entire island, even if it is just to crack down on pirates and criminals, the residents must be careful not to be injured by mistake.

In short, the Chabaoti Archipelago has now become the most turbulent and lawless place.

In this chaos, the pirates who had completed the coating went out to sea, while those who had not completed it had two choices: one was to risk hiding on the island and waiting for the coating to be completed, and the other was to finish the coating and hide outside for a while.

The former is too risky, as no one can be sure that they will not encounter a general on the island, while the latter is too weak and greatly damages the dignity of the supernovas.

Some supernovas who are ignorant of the immensity of the world even think in their minds, "What's so great about the general? I want to see him, too," and just wait for the general to come to them.

Maybe they want to use the general as a stepping stone to become famous overnight?

However, this type of person does not include "The Godfather" Capone.

The organizational structure of his pirate group is much tighter than that of his peers, perhaps because of his background. Even after changing his job to become a pirate, he still has a gangster style, and his fleet is also his "family".

In this world that generally emphasizes personal force, Capone is one of the few people who believes in "collective power". Rather than being a pirate, he is more like a gangster boss who can sail.

Because of this, he was unwilling to confront the navy head-on if possible.

Those grassroots naval forces stationed in various places are fine. The highest rank in a naval branch may be a colonel-level officer. Their manpower, firepower, and warship configuration are not that strong. Capone is not afraid of them.

But the Sabaody Archipelago is different. Although the navy stationed there is not very strong, it is very close to the naval headquarters and the holy land of Marijoa. Once any problem arises, they can quickly get elite support from the naval headquarters.

Not to mention such a major incident as the attack on the Celestial Dragons, I'm sure the elite among the elite would be sent over to suppress the riot.

Then the best option is to go to sea urgently before the navy is deployed on a large scale!

Fortunately, his ship has been coated, and because of the power of the fruit, his "pirate group" does not attract attention when it is in action.

The journey was smooth, and except for encountering sporadic small-scale navy, no accidents occurred. Capone, based on the principle of caution, tried to avoid armed conflict with the navy. As a result, their attention was indeed attracted by those jumping supernovas. Capone arrived at the port where he parked his ship at no cost.

"Alright, guys, let's get ready. Although we don't know which bastard has provoked the Celestial Dragons, the admiral will definitely come to clear the area. We must leave Shabaodi and head to Fishman Island before then."

"Godfather, the coated ship is ready."

"Okay!" Capone nodded.

At this time, a crew member exclaimed: "We are about to go to Fishman Island. Beyond Fishman Island is the New World... It's really exciting."

"I can't believe we're already halfway through the Grand Line."

"We've suffered a lot along the way, but luckily we have the Godfather here."

"Don't worry, our efforts will not be in vain."

"Everyone needs to work harder!"

"Then again, it always feels very quiet."

"There are not many people here at the port. Not even the navy patrolling can be seen."

"I guess they sent all their troops to the no-man's land."

"Don't waste time, start the engine quickly and don't stop!" Capone scolded the crew in a slightly impatient manner.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Unfortunately, this premonition became a reality.

"Um, sorry, can I bother you for a moment?"

An old man in a yellow suit and a navy cloak appeared behind the crowd at some point. His sparse stubble made him look a little decadent, and he didn't have the aura of a strong man at all.

If he took off his navy cloak, no one would believe that he was such a powerful figure representing "justice" in the navy.

"I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get to the no-man's land?"

-

"Rayleigh?! That "Rayleigh"? The one who's the vice-captain of the Pirate King? !"

"No way, this uncle actually..."

"Even a man like me can't help but break out in a cold sweat. I actually met a legendary figure here."

"I'm so scared that my heart is about to jump out of my chest - even though I don't have a heart. He turned out to be the deputy of Pirate King Roger... But who is Roger? I seem to have heard of a "newcomer" named Roger."

"You're not surprised if you don't know!"

Jiang Liu's eyes couldn't help but twitch: "You guys just realized his identity?"

"I can't help it. Nami chased the Straw Hats and beat them as soon as she came over. She didn't even give me a chance to explain." Xiao Ba said quickly, "I'm sorry, Rayleigh. The Straw Hats are just here for coating. I didn't want to say so much."

"It's okay, Xiao Ba." Rayleigh smiled carefreely, "It's not a bad thing for an old man like me to get to know some energetic young people. Besides, if they are your friends, then they are also my friends."

Usopp's reaction was the biggest, and his jaw almost dislocated from shock.

"Hades...Rayleigh!"

Be it Robin, Nami, or even Zoro, a man who cared about nothing but the sword, all concentrated and held their breath, quietly observing this unremarkable old man.

These young people grew up listening to Roger's stories, so they are naturally familiar with Rayleigh. They know very well how legendary this man is. A person who should have only existed in legends suddenly appeared before their eyes. Anyone would be shocked.

Moreover, they really have too many questions about this former member of the Pirate King's fleet.

The mystery of the capture of Pirate King Roger, the secret of the final destination Raftel, the historical text that records the blank past...

This encounter is destined to bring fateful changes to this group of young people!

Chapter 88: Three Thousand Views and a Transparent World!

After having an in-depth conversation with Rayleigh for a while and learning about the events of the Roger era, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was deeply touched, especially Luffy and Robin.

Only now do these two people realize that what Roger left to the world is not only treasure, but also the ambition for his dreams, which opened the most free but also the most chaotic era.

The other is the truth of the "hundred-year historical blank" that is unprecedentedly close, but he uses reason to control his obsession.

It's still too early. Rayleigh can answer the secrets of both Raftel and the main text of history, but it's still too early for the Straw Hats today.

Besides, in Luffy's opinion, if he doesn't solve the puzzle and reach Raftel by himself, there would be no point in knowing those secrets.

He is such a man who will not take shortcuts and will not stop once he sets his goal.

Although Rayleigh waived their fees, it would take at least three days to coat the ship. Moreover, Rayleigh was a man who "could not be seen in the light", so he had to move the Straw Hats' ship from its anchorage to another secret place to carry out the coating work.

During this period, it was unrealistic for the Straw Hat Pirates to hide in Shaqi's Bar, and they didn't want to implicate others, so they planned to hide in the Sabaody Archipelago for these three days.

Jiang Liu naturally knew how unreliable this idea was, because the Straw Hat Pirates had not yet realized how serious the situation was. No matter how low-key the pirates gathered in the Sabaody Archipelago hid, they would be attacked indiscriminately. This was the deterrent power of the admiral.

Besides, it’s not just the generals who are coming…

"We'd better separate."

Jiang Liu did not bring Lulu with him this time, but let her stay in Xia Qi's bar with her long-lost father, which was the safest place for her.

Lulu herself didn't know how dangerous it was for Jiang Liu to go out this time, so she didn't react much. She just felt a little strange when Jiang Liu asked her to use her ability on the colossus again. She didn't understand why Jiang Liu carried this thing with him.

"After all, the Navy's ultimate target is still me. If I separate from you, the target won't be too obvious. And now that the Celestial Dragons have been thrown into the sea by Xiao Ba and his men, they will definitely disperse a large number of troops to rescue them. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem."

"Ugh?"

Luffy said disappointedly: "I want to go to the amusement park again. I didn't have enough fun last time because I was looking for Uncle Rayleigh."

"Why go to an amusement park at this time..."

Jiang Liu was speechless for a while: "Anyway, Rayleigh has given you the life card. I have one here too. We will meet at Rayleigh's place in three days - if I am still alive."
